Abstract

The article takes the form of an interview protocol and is based on a conversation between Dennis Eckhardt and the members of the research project Digitalisation of Labour and Migration Moritz Altenried, Manuela Bojadžijev and Mira Wallis. The project is based on the assumption that digital technologies not only transform the world of work, but also have far-reaching consequences for mobility and migration. In the interview, members of the research project talk about their understanding of the term digital work cultures and relate this to concepts such as logistics, infrastructure, scalability, mobility and reproduction. Using examples from their empirical research on different forms of platform work in Germany and Romania, they illustrate how digital platforms reorganise labour and reproduction, and also how forms and practices of labour migration change in the course of this transformation.
